You are right, and I think thats another area that causes problems. I am also an archer and have been since I was 5, and was lucky enough to be able to ask an Olympian (Seoul 88)for advice as a junior. Since then I've watched Arcehry GB as it is now become the monstrosity it has become. Since they came back with the Team Bronze, and Alison's medal from Syndey has pushed the need for results so high to get any funding its become results, results, results, money, money, money. Putting the athletes and staff under so much pressure, everyone forgets that they are just human, and a lot of them still aren't full time athletes.

Edit: I should add that the above go so bad for the a school friend and fellow club member after Sydney he didn't want to pick up a bow again.

A chap from the village next to mine did well in the Barcelona Olympics archery event.
